Six twenty-minute lessons, gods at war is the latest, penetrating study from Kyle Idleman.

Kyle Idleman's riveting new study, gods at war properly notes that Christians and the church correctly emphasize the need to identify and eradicate sin. But what if we're actually missing the point? What if all sin has a common root? Is there a core issue that we failing to address?

In this new series, Kyle Idleman challenges our presumptions about sin by suggesting that all sin derives from the same source—idolatry. While we don't see many "graven images" around today, Kyle argues that there are still countless gods passionately at war for the throne of our hearts. If we put the wrong god on the throne, our lives will be thrown into chaos, and all of the effort we put into fighting sin and overcoming it will be futile.

While there are many gods at war for our hearts, this study focuses on four in particular: the gods of love, money, pleasure, and power. In a new twist to the cinematic style City on Hill video studies have become known for, this series is filmed in a docudrama style—and features real people telling real stories.

These stories are compelling, and in them everyone will see some reflection of themselves, and recognize the true battle that lies at the heart of all of our sin struggles. These stories also point the way to victory, as we see the kind of life-transforming power that Christ is ready to pour out in our lives as well. As a result, seekers, non-Christians and life-long Christians alike will all be moved to grow their relationship with Christ.

This was an outstanding Bible study. My group has really come closer to the One true God. We so often let other gods in our lives reside on the throne of our hearts. This study has helped us to recognize those gods in our lives. Awesome! A bit costly though, I think.

Our Men's Bible Study group was not disappointed by this study. We have viewed and worked with a few of Kyle Idleman's resources in the past and we have enjoyed and learned much from the way he presents God's Word. This study uses real people's testimonies and how each person eventually trusts God to lead and change their lives. In my opinion this is a study for any age group male, female, or mixed. The study deals with real life issues, no matter what your age may be. We look forward to the next study that Kyle may release, if more are to come.

I was dissappointed in this study. While the premise and the biblical truths Kyle presents were all good. The examples he uses are quite extreme, and I found it hard to really relate to idols that are in my life. The extreme examples he uses don't seem to speak to the majority of people, there is merit in deiscussing those, but I would like to have had more examples that are commonplace. I loved his Not A Fan study and this just wasn't what I hoped for.
